Default 1932 Dash Truck vs. Sedan?
What is the difference between a 1932 pickup dash panel and a closed car, except 3 window, panel? I picked one up at a swap meet last weekend. The top measures 41" across and the bottom 41 1//2". I would appreciate any help. I have tried to find the answer here searching the forum and the V-8 Club forum. Couldn't find anything to my surprise. Thanks.

The pickup is different if you measure from top to bottom in the middle, longer by quite a bit. David will probably have the dimensions.

Most distinguish them based on their appearance rather than their measurements as the reverse curves along the bottom edge on either side of the center are much more pronounced on the commercial vehicle/big truck dash panel as shown below.

I believe that it is for a closed car.
